Wrong date on ticket. Can I fight it?

What is the name of your state? NY

Got parking ticket on 27th of April. But hand written ticket reads clearly 26th of April. Is there any defense? Police officer put wrong date. There were 2 people besides me in the car, they can submit statement that they saw police officer affixing ticket to my car on 27th of April.

There are no witnesses to confirm my whereabouts on the 26th of April. I didn't get any ticket's on 26th of April.
I don't have any defense other than this wrong date on ticket. Can I fight it?

Funny, the ticket was given for double parking while I was unloading a dozen of helium baloons. Apparently, I could not "put" them on the ground and just leave. Had to go to the house and put it inside... When I got back to the car, sat in driver's seat and started the engine, I heard voice from police loudspeaker "Too late. Stay in the car" I don't think I should try "helium baloon" defense....

Mistakes are allowed to be made. I'm guessing the car info was correct? So there no way you can show that it wasn't YOUR CAR that was there. There's no defense, just pay the ticket. Even cops make and are allowed some latitude in making mistakes. Its not like he just made the double parking thing up, and used your car, and plate# out of the blue.

You can always take it to whatever authority you have to try to get the fine reduced, but is it worth it to you?

24 days have elapsed since the day this ticket was issued. I want to pay, but it still did not appear in online system... 6 more days and penalties will start to accrue... I had always paid online, it usually appears in the system in a week... What do I do?

If it will appear in the online system after 30 days, do I still have to pay the ticket and penalties?
Ticket is handwritten.

The ticket reads "46 $115 Double Parking (f)(1)". Again, I don't think I should fight it, the car was double parked all right.

Any thoughts as to what means the absense of the ticket in the City on-line system: [url]http://nycserv.nyc.gov/NYCServInquiry/NYCSERVMain[/url]

Is it unusual or normal?

Is it possible the cop lost the ticket of forgot to enter it into the system or anything else? It's only 4 days left to pay up, but I don't even have checks.... Who needs personal checks in 21st century....

If the ticket shows up in the system after 30th day, what is gonna happen?

Nothing to brag about, but I pay about $2K worth parking tickets a year, always on-line, I can testify that each and every parking ticket appeared in the system in maximum 2 weeks after violation...
